South Lebanon, OH — A young man died this past Sunday morning (December 28, 2014) after he was hit along I-71 in a pedestrian accident. The victim was later identified by WHIO as 17-year old Joshua Alcorn.
Police said that Alcorn was apparently walking along I-71 near Exit 28 around 2:15 a.m. on Sunday morning. As he walked along the interstate, he tried to cross it on foot, but was hit in the southbound lanes by an 18-wheeler.
The impact critically injured Alcorn and he died at the scene, though the truck driver wasn’t harmed. Right now, it doesn’t look the truck driver will be charged, as it seems he didn’t do anything wrong. However, police are still awaiting autopsy results on Mr. Alcorn to shed more light on the incident.
